为了筛选出盆地内超高层结构抗震设计所需的盆地型长周期地震动(简称为长周期地震动)验算波,总结了长周期地震动的形成机理,分析了长周期地震动中面波的卓越性,提出了截取由面波主导的地震动尾波的方法,通过基于尾波特性的统计分析得到了长周期地震动的判别准则.结果表明:沉积盆地边界所激发的面波在盆地内传播、叠加以及依频率放大是长周期地震动的主要形成机理;长周期地震动中由面波主导的尾波段对长周期结构响应起控制作用;长周期地震动判别准则宜定为:速度反应谱卓越周期大于2s,且截取出的尾波与原始波在速度反应谱卓越周期处的谱幅值比大于85%.     

顶吹搅拌液相流体的水模实验与数值模拟分析

采用水模型和VOF数学模型对浸没式气体顶吹搅拌液相流体分别进行实验与数值模拟,分析在不同喷吹条件下气泡在液相中的形变、运动及液相流体的流场特性。结果表明,随着气流量和喷管浸入液面深度的增加,气-液混合区域分布范围逐渐扩大,液面波动更剧烈;气流量越大、喷管浸入液面越深、液相温度越高,气泡运动对液相流体内部的搅拌作用越强,流体内部扰动越剧烈,液相流场域中的流场速度越大,其中,当气流量为2.0m3/h、喷管浸入液面深度为340mm时,其液相流场速度最大值达到1.18m/s。     

Brownian diode: Molecular motor based on a semi-permeable Brownian particle with internal potential drop

A model of an autonomous isothermal Brownian motor with an internal propulsion mechanism is considered. The motor is a Brownian particle which is semi-transparent for molecules of surrounding ideal gas. Molecular passage through the particle is controlled by a potential similar to that in the transition rate theory, i.e. characterized by two stationary states with a finite energy difference separated by a potential barrier. The internal potential drop maintains the diode-like asymmetry of molecular fluxes through the particle, which results in the particle?s stationary drift.     

Application of DEM modified with enlarged particle model to simulation of bead motion in a bead mill

We applied the discrete element method （DEM） of simulation modified by an enlarged particle model to simulate bead motion in a large bead mill. The stainless-steel bead mill has inner diameter of 102 mm and mill length of 198 mm. The bead diameter and filling ratio were fixed respectively at 0.5 mm and 85%. The agitator rotational speed was changed from 1863 to 3261 rpm. The bead motion was monitored experimentally using a high-speed video camera through a transparent mill body. For the simulation, enlarged particle sizes were set as 3-6 mm in diameter. With the DEM modified by the enlarged particle model, the motion of enlarged particles in a mill was simulated.The velocity data of the simulated enlarged particles were compared with those obtained in the experiment. The simulated velocity of the enlarged particles depends on the virtual frictional coefficient in the DEM model. The optimized value of the virtual frictional coefficient can be determined by considering the accumulated mean value. Results show that the velocity of the enlarged particles simulated increases with an increase in the optimum virtual frictional coefficient, but the simulated velocity agrees well with that determined experimentally by optimizing the virtual frictional coefficient in the simulation. The computing time in the simulation decreases with increased particle size.     

Measuring persistence in a stationary time series using the complex network theory

A growing interest exists currently in the analysis of time series by the complex network theory. Here we present a simple and quick way for mapping time series to complex networks. Using a simple rule allows us to transform time series into a textual sequence then we divide it into words with fixed size. Distinct words are nodes of the network, and we have complete control on the network scale by adjusting the word size. Two nodes are linked if their associated words co-occur in sequence. We show that the network topological measures quantify the persistence and the long range correlations in fractional Brownian processes. For a particular word size we assume some relations between the topological measures and the Hurst exponent which characterised the persistence in fractional Brownian processes.     

Compare study between smoothing efficiencies of epicyclic motion and orbital motion

The smoothing efficiencies of epicyclic motion and orbital motion in CCOS (computer controlled optical surfacing) were compared. CCOS polishing can smooth out mid-to-high spatial frequency errors which are smaller than tool size on optical mirrors due to the rigidity of polishing tools. The smoothing efficiencies of epicyclic motion and orbital motion with pitch lap and RC lap were compared and the result proved pitch lap with epicyclic motion smoothed ∼1.6 times faster than pitch lap with orbital motion while RC lap with epicyclic motion smoothed ∼1.85 times faster than RC lap with orbital motion.     

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of two-sided lid-driven flow in a staggered cavity

In this article, the lattice Boltzmann method is employed in order to explore incompressible fluid flow inside a two-sided lid-driven staggered cavity. Results of the lattice Boltzmann simulation for antiparallel motion of lids are compared with the data from existing literature. For parallel motion of lids, the characteristics of flow pattern for a variety of Re numbers (50–3200) are presented. An asymmetric steady-state flow pattern for parallel motion of lids is obtained.     

Functional ergodic limits for occupation time processes of site-dependent branching Brownian motions in R

We consider a kind of site-dependent branching Brownian motions whose branching laws depend on the site-branching factorσ(·).We focus on the functional ergodic limits for the occupation time processes of the models in R.It is proved that the limiting process has the form ofλξ(·),where A is the Lebesgue measure on IE andξ(·)is a real-valued process which is non-degenerate if and only ifσis integrable.Whenξ(·)is non-degenerate,it is strictly positive for t0.Moreover,ξconverges to O in finite-dimensional distributions if the integral ofσtends to infinity.     

Magnetization switching modes in nanopillar spin valve under the external field

The current-induced magnetic switching is studied in Co/Cu/Co nanopillar with an in-plane magnetization traversed under the perpendicular-to-plane external field.Magnetization switching is found to take place when the current density exceeds a threshold.By analyzing precessional trajectories,evolutions of domain walls and magnetization switching times under the perpendicular magnetic field,there are two different magnetization switching modes:nucleation and domain wall motion reversal;uniform magnetization ...
